Choosing and using the

right volumizer for limp locks

When it comes to hair, clients either want to pump it up or calm it down. While hair-straightening gels and balms have gotten a lot of attention lately, many clients still want and need some volume no matter what their hairstyle. Given the number of volumizers, mousses, texturizers and thickening sprays now on the market, one thing’s for sure: Body-building doesn’t just happen in the gym.

“About 70 percent of all clients need to use a volumizer because of their hair type, volumizers work for fine, straight and thin hair and for many combinations such as coarse, wavy, thin hair.”

Volumizers add temporary fullness by putting moisture back into the hair. Most of them deposit proteins throughout the hair shaft or under the cuticle. Thanks to advanced technology, volumizers can now boost hair and provide shine without heavy ingredients that weigh hair down. “All volumizers vary in strength of hold and form and I don’t believe that one works for all hair types, to select a volumizer, I break it down to hair type, desired result and the amount of porosity in the hair.”

When applying a volumizer, concentrate on the root area. “Some people get hair in place and then spray the whole head with volumizer ,” says Ken Kelly, owner of Rhetta B’s salon in Stuart, FL, “You want to put moisture back in the hair then create the style.”

After application, you can style your client’s hair several ways to maximize fullness. “You can set hair on Velcro rollers or blow-dry with a round brush,” says Cecil Diaz, styles director at DePasquale, The Spa, Morris Plains, NJ.

To find the best volumizers for your clients, you may need to experiment. Paul Mitchell Volumizing Spray, KMS’s AMP Volume Amplifying Spray and Bumble and bumble’s Thickening Spray all have fans. Since letting hair dry naturally with texture will be one summer trend, let your clients know that volumizing products will add shine and definition to that look.
